What Does Mole Removal Cost?

By John King

I'd surmise that it would be awfully difficult to find a single person that doesn't have at least one issue having to do with their skin. Moles are pretty common and for some, they are beautiful, but for most of us, they're just plain ugly. In worse cases, a mole can become agitated and become reason for someone to want to get it removed. For other people, just having a mole is reason enough to want to remove it. The majority of people choose just to live with their moles because they're hidden by clothing but mole removal becomes more a necessity when moles are located on the face.

Until recently, the most common method for the removal of moles was to visit your neighborhood dermatologist. They might recommend a wide variety of removal procedures. The most common is where they simply remove the mole by using a special tool. They will undoubtedly do what they can to control the scaring and in many cases, will use antibiotics and/or medicines before covering the treated area with a bandage. Depending on the color of the mole, some additional mole removal therapies might be necessary but typically within a few days, you should find the treated skin to be mole free.

Moles that appear flat on the skin are difficult to remove and typically require stitches after removal. In most cases, the dermatologist will numb the area to be treated before removing the mole. Stitches will then be immediately applied before bandaging. They will require that you keep the area clean and that you use antibiotics. After several weeks, the dermatologist will be able to tell you if the scaring will be large or small. Estimated around $200-$450 depending on the size and type of mole, this process can be very expensive.

With recent laser technology advances, laser removal has become very popular. Do keep in mind however that not all laser therapy is permanent. Laser mole removal is effective primarily on raised moles. Deeper and darker moles have lesser success ratios compared to those who had smaller, shallower moles removed by laser.

It is typical that most dermatologists will recommend mole removal. As a result, most skin irritations, health issues and/or embarrassments can be avoided if you get your moles removed. Once it is all said and done, having your moles removed have been found to result in improved self confidence in one's own looks. Men and women alike, moles located in an area where shaving is common, they can become more than just a nuisance. Just imagine how nice it would be to no longer have to worry about cutting yourself. Do yourself a favor, save your money and most importantly, your beautiful skin from scars and research a natural mole removal remedy. - 30292
